This unique product is a Video Camera and DVR all in one that is as easy to install as a GPS or Radar Detector. Just insert the CF card, plug it in to the cigarette outlet and the unit starts recording right out of the box. This is a high quality product that requires no buttons to push to start recording like the cheap units you see for less money. Each unit has an internal cooling fan not found on cheaper units The operating system is Linux for stability and reliability you can depend on. It records video and sound (if you enable) as soon as you turn on the ignition and records continuously on an 8gb Compact Flash (CF) card. Once the card is full it overwrites the oldest files so you have a continuous history of a minimum of 10 hours of events using the supplied 8gb CF card. For longer recording capacity you can use up to a 32gb CF card. It mounts on the windshield with a suction cup mount and plugs into your vehicle's cigarette light outlet. Or you can wire it direct to the fuse box is you prefer. It has video output that you can attach to a monitor (separate purchase) or you can connect it to your vehicles radio if it has a line in for video. Many aftermarket car stereos have this ability. Our Model VC-100 uses a Sony CCD camera for the highest quality video as opposed to the CMOS which is of a lower quality. This product is of the highest quality and is not to be compared to lower end recorders. Don't be deceived by the less expensive products that are flimsy and have buttons to push that stick and don't always work. This is a quality product designed for years of continuous use providing you with digital video peace of mind while you drive. We pay hundreds a year for car insurance. This is a good investment at a one time great price to enhance that insurance. It will pay for itself with one occurrence. A must for anyone who drives the road. Makes an excellent gift for that someone that has everything. |
Here are some more information for Cams Electronic Ignition:
All gasoline powered engines require a spark to ignite the mixture of gasoline and air. This spark must occur at the right time and in the correct cylinder. This is accomplished by the ignition system.
There are basically three types of ignition system used: the conventional breaker point typesystems that were used in vehicle from the early 1900s to the mid 1970s; the electronic systems; and the new distributor-less or wasted spark system that was introduced in the mid 80s and is still used today.
All ignition systems employ four basic components a battery to provide power for the system, a coil that is used to increase the voltage supplied by the battery from 12 volts to about 30,000 volts, a distributor that directs the high voltage to the right cylinder and a sparkplug that produces the spark that ignites the fuel mixture.
Point-type system:
In this type of ignition system, the battery power is fed through a resistor to the primary side of the coil and is then grounded through the closed ignition points in the distributor. Causing the current to flow through the primary, windings and creating an intense magnetic field.
As the distributor cam turns, the points are opened interrupting the flow of current causing the magnetic field to collapse. The collapse of the magnetic field causes the lines of force to cut through the secondary windings. Since the ratio of turns in the secondary windings is higher than the primary, the voltage is increased to about 30,000 volts.
The distributor rotor acts as a selector switch directing the high voltage created by the coil to the sparkplug in the proper cylinder where the spark causes the fuel mixture to ignite.
One of the major problems with this system was the points. Due to the arcing created by the points opening and closing the points would become burned which would render them useless after a while. Placing a condenser across the points would improve this condition but the points would still need to be replaced about every 10,000 miles.
In addition to the points the contacts on the rotor and cap would also become burned and would also need replacing.
Electronic systems:
In the 70s new emissions laws and the need for greater reliability created a need for a higher mileage, reduced emissions ignition system with greater reliability, which led to the development of the electronic ignition systems.
The major difference of the Electronic ignition system from the conventional ignition systems is the distributor components. Instead of a distributor cam, points, and condenser, the electronic ignition system has an armature, a pickup coil, and an electronic control module.
All electronic systems operate basically the same current flows from the battery through the ignition switch to the coils primary windings. The primary current is turned on and off as the armature revolves past the pickup. As each tooth of the armature nears the pickup coil, it creates a signal to the electronic module to turn off the flow of current to primary side of the coil. A timing circuit in the module will turn the current on again after the coils magnetic field has collapsed, which causes a high voltage in the secondary windings of the coil. The remainder of the system still operates the same as in a conventional ignition system.
In the electronic ignition systems the problem with the points has been solved but the rotor and cap still need to be replaced periodically.
Distributor-less systems:
The distributor-less ignition systems is not truly distributor-less, it just no longer has a mechanical distributor. It has been replaced by an electronic switching system.
There are two types of distributor-less systems, the true distributor-less system and the wasted spark system.
The distributor-less ignition has a dedicated coil for each cylinder. The timing of the spark is controlled by an Ignition Control Unit (ICU) and the Engine Control Unit (ECU).
The wasted spark system each cylinder is paired with the cylinder opposite it in the firing order. The ends of each coil secondary leads are attached to spark plugs for the paired opposites. These two plugs are on what is known as companion cylinders, cylinders that are at Top Dead Center (TDC) at the same time. But, they are paired opposites, because they are always at opposing ends of the 4 stroke engine cycle. When one is at TDC of the compression stroke, the other is at TDC of the exhaust stroke. When the coil discharges, both plugs fire at the same time.
The distributor-less ignition system has finally solved both of the reliability problems with the ignition system that has pledged automobile engines from the 1900s till the mid 80s. But there is still hope for older vehicles; as there are several very good aftermarket conversion kits available on the market at affordable prices.

Central Figure of the Acura Ignition System
Many of today's automobile manufacturers have already eliminated distributors from the list of car components that they produce. Owners even detest distributors because of the propensity of such auto parts to deteriorate easily, causing serious problems in the engine systems. Acura, however, relies heavily on this part – which is perhaps the central figure of the ignition system.
Distributors are normally used in the ignition systems of virtually all older vehicles and in several recent ones. Vehicles with point-type ignition systems typically have distributors. Most modern vehicles utilize a distributor-less or electronic ignition system.
Acura's distributors have two main purposes. First, these parts distribute high voltage pulses to the engine's spark plugs in the right firing order. Second, they also trigger the high voltage pulses coming from the ignition coil. The first purpose is basically fulfilled by the Acura distributor rotor and the Acura distributor cap. The Acura distributor rotor is a rotating arm, driven by the engine camshaft, which is connected to the ignition coil. The Acura distributor cap, meanwhile, is a device or covering that contains the contacts for the spark plugs. As the rotor rotates underneath the distributor cap, it distributes the high voltage pulses from the ignition coil to the individual spark plugs in the right firing order. The other function of an Acura distributor is handled by the breaker points, cam follower, distributor cam, and condenser—all of which are housed in the bottom half of the distributor. These components perform the job of breaking the current to the coil, resulting to the coil's release of high voltage pulses.
Acura distributors are mechanical components. Because of this, their various parts can easily succumb to wear and tear. The arching of voltage pulses from the rotor tip to the spark plug contacts causes the distributor cap and rotor to deteriorate early. Vehicle manufacturers avoid the use of distributors because of this 'inherent' problem. A damaged Acura distributor rotor or cap should be replaced immediately to avoid complications to the engine.

how much power from my 355 chevy? Rough estimates please I know I wont have "all needed info"?
I have a .030 bored over 350 head casting number is 3927186, has a 600 cfm edelbrock carb. aluminum one chamber edelbrock intake, mild cam increase, solid lifters, and steel non-stock non-roller rockers. has a mallory electronic ignition distributer. and a performance timing chain. it also has heddman headers and purple hornies mufflers. in a '78 nova. bought it for $400 from a guy so I don't know all the details about the internal components. just going on what he told me.
The guy used it at the drag strip for a while, then he just drove it down the street maybe 2 times a week, however it sat in his garage for about 2.5 years in the car before I bought it. He took really good care of it and "used only the highest octane fuel." if this matter...
It could be anywhere from 280-350hp it all depends on how it is tuned, the internals used, what shape the motor is in and many other factors.
2011 Infiniti QX56
VERSAILLES, Ky. -- Stretching long and decorated with a stub-nosed prow that presents a broad chrome-ringed grille with streaky bi-functional xenon headlamp clusters on front corners plus curvaceous fender blisters bulging over massive alloy wheels, the new 2011 QX56 full-size sport utility vehicle from Infiniti looks dramatically different from other SUVs.
